the bit to 128
Is there an option to openssl that enables you to set the bit to 128?
I want to generate the cert using the CA.pl script, but by default
it sets the bit to 40. I'd like to set the bit to 128. Can someone
provide the syntax for this option?
Thanks.

That has little to do with the CA certificate and more to do with the
software being used. If clients can only make 40 bit SSL connections
then the clients probably only support 40 bit SSL (the old export

So, in a nutshell openssl doesn't have the ability to create 128-bit
self-signed CA's?

When a cert is created by openssl (using the CA.pl script):
CA.pl -newca
CA.pl -newreq

Ok, now we're getting somewhere. It's a misunderstanding of what the values
mean (I'm going to over simplify some to make the points clearer).
When an SSL connection is 40-bit, it means that the negotiated key size is
40-bits.
When you ask to generate an X-bit certificate, that refers to the

There's no such thing as a "128-bit self-signed CA". The certificates
that are advertised as "global server" or "SGC" or "step up" are little
different to ordinary
